I think architecture and urban planning should be viewed as complementary careers. While architecture focuses on the creation of beauty and wellness by creating spaces, urban planning focuses on the interrelation of the spaces built by the architects.
According to the text, architecture makes us see the importance of space, and the uses in these spaces, make us recognize the shape of people's lives and how it sees the development of culture through everyday life, i.e. to present architecture as a faithful representation of the culture in a society. Urban planning focuses on more complex variables of the city. Circulation, transportation, sanitation, electrical system and lighting, toilet sewerage, and means of communication are part of some of these variables.
Architecture, being generated on a smaller scale, is limited by the scope of architectural work in its environment. Urban planning, on the other hand, is highlighted in the lives of people on a larger scale, in how to take the field variables and resources to establish the way of life of all inhabitants, urban planning is based on the urban habitat
How does Caracas stand in terms of Both architecture and urban planning?
In the early 50's there was an increase in architecture and urban planning in Venezuela. The capital Caracas was the protagonist of this growth. With the influences of architect Carlos Raul Villanueva, the morphology of the city showed a growing metropolis. This boom was interrupted by a remarkable disinterest in the city, which ended by the present crowded Caracas as a center with a lack of order, logic, architectural and urban beauty. Caracas certainly still retains some of the architectural heritage, but is not valued by ourselves
